Morgoth and Fingolfin by GrayOverload, on Flickr
Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking Oromë himself was come; for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.
My favorite scene from The Silmarillion. I've had these two figs built on my desk for months, and only recently did I build this scene for them. I took some creative liberties (Fingolfin's shield is not blue, nor is he clad in white. Morgoth lacks a shield altogether) but beyond that the scene was as accurate as I could make it. C&C welcome.
Cool!
That Roman helmet is a very interesting touch that I hadn't thought of before. It actually looks a bit like some of Tolkien's little doodles, then again I never thought those quite fit the descriptions of the high helmets he most often describes.
Thanks for the constructive criticism though! I appreciate it.
